The Rutzen Arms P.H.

The Rutzen Arms Public House is a later Georgian building featuring a stepped three-storey main elevation made of stucco, complete with a plinth, parapet, and a painted ground floor. The front has four windows that are positioned forward to the right, with the outer bays advanced, and a three-window section set back to the left, where the central bay is flanked by pilaster strips. Both fronts are symmetrical. The building has slate roofs and chimney stacks made of brick and cement render. The windows are small-pane sash types, including a tripartite window in the centre of the three-window section, which has lintels above the first floor. The outer first-floor windows on the right are set in semi-circular headed recesses above elliptical arched openings with imposts, with a gated entrance to the right and a sash window filling in the left.

In the centre of the three-window front, there is an arched and gated coach entrance, with raised lettering above that reads: "Erected in the Year MDCCCXXXIII By Charles Frederick Baron de Rutzen KM." Flanking this entrance are arched openings below blind tablets, with an architrave and keystone to the left that features a Masonic emblem.

At the time of inspection in January 1988, the building was noted to be in poor condition, particularly internally.

To the left, a whitewashed rubble entrance passage leads into a service courtyard, which has a timber lintel below semi-circular relieving arches that previously supported a lean-to on the right. There is a cross range to both the left and right. The left range features a jetted brick first floor above a whitewashed ground floor with sash glazing and a plinth; the first floor has tripartite segmental windows that illuminate the former Masonic hall, known as Victoria Hall, which was previously the Market Hall, located at the rear. The rear of the main building is constructed of rubble with breeze block infill.

The staircase leading to the Masonic Hall retains floral carving on the newel post.
